S01E05 | Talking Romance Novels, Writing, & Decolonising the Publishing Industry with Pyae Moe Thet War

This week, Marina catches up with Pyae Moe Thet War, a classmate from her years studying at the University of East Anglia and a fellow writer. They chat about the books they've read and why they like them, and perhaps whether the cultural issues that arise from Asians (like them) who have studied and lived in the West are worth exploring in their writing.

Pyae is now back in Myanmar and is working on her first book, an essay collection titled You’ve Changed to be published by Catapult in 2022.
